These pins are an invaluable tool for all sorts of reasons: they can be used to secure components whilst soldering, as rivets for 7mm modelling, as locating pins for silo downpipes, and many other uses listed below.

Brass Lace Pins

The lace pins are made from solid brass. They measure 26mm long by 0.55mm in diameter (just over 0.020") They have a multitude of uses. as listed below In 7mm modelling, the heads can be reduced slightly to form rivet head detail (Refer to top photo at left), keep the off cuts as securing pins. For securing jig onto timber, as in the KRM HO 004 Ladder Forming Support Jig(Refer to 2rd photo at left) The down pipes on HO silos were previously pinned to the silo walls with 0.5mm wire, I now use the lace pins to do this task, as they have a point, which makes the task much easier. For holding etched brass components that need to be laminated, (in whatever scale)(Refer to 3rd photo at left) For just holding parts together on a cutting mat. As a centre punch as in the KRM HO 102 Drilling Jig. (Refer to 4th photo at Left) As rungs for 7mm ladders.(Refer to bottom photo at left) As you can see from the photos, there are very useful for many resons.
